Trimontium was one of the most important Roman centres of the northern frontier in Britain, and was occupied from the late first century AD through the second.
It was extensively excavated in the early years of the twentieth century, producing an outstanding collection of Roman artefacts, from humble wooden tent pegs to highly decorated military parade helmets, all now in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh (Curle 1911).

 TRIMONTIVM
In Ptolemy's Geography the name is listed as Trimontium, the last of four towns attributed to the Selgovae tribe of the Scottish Borders region; the other three towns mentioned by Ptolemy, Carbantorigum, Uxellum and Corda, are all unidentified.
All of the legible stones recovered from the Trimontium area have been altars to the gods, and interestingly enough all of the gods mentioned are Roman, further proof perhaps that the garrison at Newstead consisted of citizen Roman legionaries.
The deities are all represented by single altars; Apollo, sun-god and patron of music, his sister Diana, goddess of the moon and hunting, the omnipotent Jupiter, king of the Roman pantheon, the ancient Italian rural god Silvanus, and lastly, the Campestres, or 'goddesses of the parade-ground.

 The three peaks city: Plovdiv in Roman times (1)
This is partly due to Trimontium's location at the junction between the route linking the rich Danube plains to the North and the Mediterranean to the South and the route linking the Adriatic and the Black seas.
The three peaks also offer natural defences to the city: the forum, the centre of Roman city life, is in the plain between the three hills (later known as Taxim, Nebet, and Jambaz Tepe).
The ever-practical Romans, impressed by the favorable location, promptly renamed the city into Trimontium, or the city of the three peaks, a much less imperialistic name than the former "Philipopolis" given by Philip II of Macedonia.

 Treasures from Trimontium Fields
For over 30 years Jack and Caroline Cruickshank walked the fields of Trimontium chasing the plough furrows to glean fragments of Newstead's Roman past - sherds of pottery and glass, fragments of metal and, rarest of all, decorated gemstones.
It should be both an example of the wealth which Trimontium still has to offer and a fitting tribute to the skill and persistence of the Cruickshanks in their years of treading the Newstead fields.
This is no small undertaking but is the kind of project which the enthusiasts of the Trimontium Trust are well-suited to carry out over a number of years - and which the National Museums would be happy to support and encourage.

 Trimontium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Eildon Hills were known to the Romans as Trimontium because of their three (tri) separate hilltops (montium).The forts were next to the Roman road running from Corbridge on Hadrian's Wall into Scotland.
The first two forts were built long before Hadrian's wall was started in AD 122 or Antonine's Wall in AD 142.
Trimontium was an important Signal Station where Roman sentries could catch sight of any bands of enemies quite a few kilometers from the fort giving them plenty of time to warn the garrison.

Replica features of Trimontium Man, a 45-year-old military veteran, have been crafted from computerised data gleaned during a CT scan of his skull at Borders General Hospital.
The Romans cremated their dead, so the soldier, whose skeleton was recovered from a 14ft-deep pit or well in 1846, cannot have died from natural causes.
An archaeological dig by a team from Bradford University in the Nineties showed that the place where Trimontium Man was found lay close to an area of the fort which included inns and brothels.
